Sensors and actuators
In the vast landscape of IoT, end devices are equipped with an array of sensors and actuators, forming the cornerstone for dynamic interaction with the physical world. These components not only perceive the nuances of their environment but also act upon it, paving the way for intelligent and responsive IoT applications.
Sensors
Sensors in IoT devices are used to capture and send environmental data to the MCU. They can detect various parameters, such as temperature, humidity, light, and motion. Sensors provide valuable information about the environment, helping with decision-making and adaptive actions.
Many sensors used in IoT devices are Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) devices. MEMS technology, which enables the miniaturization of mechanical and electro-mechanical elements to a small size, has had a significant impact on sensor technology. By combining mechanical and electro-mechanical elements with electronic components on a silicon substrate...
